Wyoming artist Carol Swinney paints with a palette knife instead of a brush for many reasons. “I love texture, and love to see a lot of paint on the canvas. A painting knife gives rich colors and amazing depth, like you’re sculpting a painting,” she says. “Contrast, composition and lighting capture my attention while on location so I paint when colors are rich and light is more dramatic.” Swinney prefers to paint on location at such places as Rocky Mountain National Park in CO, the mountains near Tucson, AZ or the Grand Teton Mountains in WY. The well-traveled artist has won numerous awards and honors for her work.

Carol has retired from public events but a few podcast and lectures have been uploaded to various YouTube channels and can be found by searching her name on that platform.
